I think it's a bad case of seamless garmentitis at best, and possibly something worse. The evisceration of the Pontifical Academy for Life is one of the unquestionable disasters of this pontificate ecclesandbosco.blogspot.com/2022/10/satan-appointed-to-pontifical-academy.htm (Before anyone points it out, I know this is satire).

Eccles is Saved may be satire, but he's not far off the mark. What is the problem with Archbishop Paglia?

He has very bad taste in murals. Oddly enough, George Weigel claims Paglia was perfectly orthodox when he knew him 20 years ago, though Weigel is somewhat credulous. The number of alleged pillars of orthodoxy revealed as careerists since 2013 is depressing.

One reason I'd like the shoutbox to be disabled is that it's not good for serious discussion, but a matter was just raised which needs airing. That is what appears to be the disproportionate sanction on the Rev Frank Pavone who I understand has been dismissed from the clerical state without the right of appeal, which is made worse by the fact he discovered this through the Catholic News Agency. I am asking questions about due process here, but I am not a canon lawyer. By contrast, we can see how, to be frank, scandal after scandal is accruing in relation to Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia. Mgr Paglia intends to sue the Pillar, but that is a brief I would be unwilling to take on if I was practicing law in the District of Columbia (or Commonwealth of Virginia or State of Maryland - I know it's based around the US capital somewhere). I know Michaelangelo took personal vengeance on some people he didn't like in the Last Judgement by picturing them among the damned (something his fellow Florentine Dante did in greater detail two centuries earlier), but Mgr Paglio seems to have commissioned the artist to depict himself in the infamous fresco. But that is minor in comparison to the appointments to the Pontifical Academy for Life. One really needs to ask what side is the Vatican on in this regard. It is clear that from a point of view of the US Church, the people the Pope has surrounded himself with do not attach a great amount of significance to the pro life cause and a lot of damage has been done. These latest allegations about Mgr Paglio, if proven to be true, should be fatal to his career, but the Pope seems to be able to tolerate quite a lot in his pets.

Archbishop Paglia is to moral theology what Fr Jean Hardouin SJ was to classical studies: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_HardouinI don't like criticising Pope Francis directly, but he dissolved and reconstituted the Pontifical Academy for Life to appoint this man (among other things) and keeps him in office however often he plays ducks and drakes with the value of human life.
